1/35 Academy M1A2 Abrams SEP v2 TUSK II

The Abrams tank has always been a challenge for me to model. I've never had a happy time building these, being so infuriated by the old Dragon offering with the separate guide teeth on their floppy, rubbery tracks that I didn't even bother cons[...]

I don't get to build much these days, due to extensive work and study commitments, and not to mention 1/5 scale humans wandering about the house. Nevertheless I managed to finish Ryefield Models magnificent M1A2 Abrams by combining both the M1A1[...]

The basic idea came from a yellow-green vehicle, or I saw a vehicle with a similar color. I didn't look for it, but I don't think it was. I hope you like it.

Another Abrams, this time I built Tamiya's 1/35th M1A2 Operation Iraqi Freedom kit into a USMC M1A1 in Norway for Exercise Reindeer II in 2016. Tamiya includes the Marine M1A1 as an option in this boxing. I added a bustle rack extension from [...]

Or maybe I should have titles this one "None Shall Pass". This being my third post here at iModeler, you may notice a pattern with my builds. Anyway, this is Dragon's M1A2 SEP kit converted into an AUS M1A1 with an Arms Corps Models conversion[...]

M1A2 Abrams Tamiya 1:48

Another nice and tidy Tamiya '48 kit of a plain vanilla Abrams. So, this was a nice no- frills project. The only finicky issue I had was with the length and link tracks that were slightly too generous. Painting the tracks also was more compli[...]

1/72 M1A2 Abrams SEP TUSK II Tiger Model

The complexity of the armor and roof-top weaponry attracted me to this kit. The fact that so much detail was packed into a 72 scale kit was also an attractive challenge. The kit has some creative engineering that minimizes the parts involved i[...]

1/35 Academy M1A1 Abrams “IRAQI 2003”

I've built a good amount of armor over the past few years but never an Abrams. Don't know why, maybe to common for my tastes. I'm more of a fan of Cold War machines like the M48, M60, and T-55 series of tanks, or very unique subjects like some[...]

My latest build a M1A2 SEP 1/72 Fly Hawk kit

This was such a fun build and the detail for a 1/72 kit was impressive. I only had a couple of issues with the kit: 1- some part number errors on the instructions, but these are easy to avoid as it is obvious where the errors are. 2- some parts[...]
